After twenty-one years in a newsroom, Witham now writes and edits books full time. He is author of ten books, including Marketplace of the Gods: How Economics Explains Religion (Oxford University Press, April 2010) and A City Upon a Hill: How Sermons Changed the Course of American History (HarperOne, 2008). Klappentext The God Biographers presents a sweeping narrative of the Western image of God since antiquity, following the theme of how the 'old' biography of God has been challenged by a 'new' biography in the twenty-first century. The new biography has made its case in free will theism, process thought, evolutionary doctrines, relational theology, and 'open theism'_a story of people, ideas, and events that is brought up to the present in this engaging narrative.
